doggie1955 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 2 hours ago, Throatwobbler said: Openly showing what this government thinks of us. Can wearing a medical face mask protect you against the new coronavirus? If it's a regular surgical face mask, the answer is "No" A more specialized mask, known as an N95 respirator, can protect against the new coronavirus. Virologists say that surgical face masks cannot block airborne viruses from entering your body. Dr. Michael Hall, a CDC vaccine provider, tells CNET in an email that N95 respirators are the most protective, but that surgical masks can be worn when taking public transport or entering crowded areas to help protect you from other people's coughs and sneezes.

Sure they could stop even any travel to Thailand. But it would mean severe consequences for the country. Who wants to be responsible for this? stopping travel from the epicenter of the virus outbreak could potentially save the lives of thousands in thailand, but at the cost of tourism dollars. who wants to be responsible for that? instead just hold a PR rally and distribute misinformation along with the useless masks. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They found 40 new cases in a quarantined cruise ship today in Japan. Just because one infected Hong Kong passenger was in the ship LAST WEEK and had also already left. Possibly exacerbated by the recycling of air from the air con system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure they could stop even any travel to Thailand. But it would mean severe consequences for the country. Who wants to be responsible for this? You surely must be Thai because you find it impossible to think beyond step 1 - like the minister who has sent a message out around the world saying that foreigners - only foreigners - are not wanted if they don't wear a mask. What about the Thais who don't wear one? Perhaps lock them away in s military camp for 're-education? The severe consequences for the government which you write of (by which you mean no money money money coming in) of banning flights is, according to you, too dreadful to be acceptable. But the severe consequences of letting possibly infected people in is okay - as long as they bring their wallet. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkok Barry Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 1 hour ago, RJRS1301 said: Those masks are not particulate masks and next to useless as they are saturated in minutes, they are not designed to filter particulates from the atmosphere, and are not form fitting. Distributing them is a waste of money. It's the IMAGE, stupid. That's all that ever counts in Thailand. The charming Health Minister has said something without having to do anything at all, and that is what counts. That is the way it always works in Thailand. Image, not substance. We all know the masks are not fit for purpose (well, all but the Minister), but that is completely irrelevant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
